Greetings from Kill Devil Hills

Other than some horrible traffic getting down I-95 to Fredericksburg, we have had a perfect day traveling to and being in the Outer Banks! We stopped for lunch outside Richmond and made a brief pit stop to see the monster truck Gravedigger, who lives in North Carolina (and whom the kids loved when they were young, though now they roll their eyes):

Then we continued on to Kitty Hawk, checked into the Travelodge and went to the beach for a couple of hours. The ocean is as warm as the air, there are lots of fish in the very clear water, and we saw pelicans, seagulls, terns, and various other birds, plus when we went back after dinner we saw many ghost crabs and a few toads in the parking lot!
